Well, it looks like one of the most annoying thing about Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Mobile will soon be gone.

According to one of the leakers on Twitter, users will be able to change the default search engine in Microsoft Edge on the Windows 10 Mobile operating system. When? Just like most of the things with WP, “soon”.

Who knows, maybe the build that is coming early this week will be the one who brings this feature back, as IE Mobile had it.Continue Reading

Now here’s a pretty great feature that should speed up the overall adoption of HTTPS. Starting with Firefox 44 Nightly, Mozilla’s web browser will notify users about the insecure type = ”password” forms and mark connection as not secure.

Well, it looks like Microsoft Edge won’t be that usable during this year after all, at least for most users. According to the software giant itself, the extensions were pushed back to 2016 and according to our own sources, it’s likely to happen sometime in spring of 2016, so don’t expect anything in January or so.

In the statement, they said that Microsoft is “committed to providing customers with a personalized web experience, which is why bringing extensions to Microsoft Edge continues to be a high priority. We’re actively working to develop a secure extension model to make the safest and most reliable browser for our customers, and look forward to sharing more in a future Windows 10 update in 2016.”Continue Reading

Not so long time ago, Norwegian browser maker has revealed its logo and slogan (do more). Now, it looks like it has finally made it to the latest developer build of Opera 34.

That’s not the only change, though. A download progress warning dialog is also being tested, so no longer will you interrupt your downloads when closing Opera. How to enable? Type “opera:flags” in the URL bar and look for “show-downloads-in-progress-warning” flag.

Other changes include the support for Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface plugins, which was disabled before, bug fixes, codec improvements for Linux users and MSE+MP3 on the developer stream.Continue Reading

When Opera complained about bundling Internet Explorer with Windows 7 to the EU and asked to include the famous browser ballot screen, we thought it wasn’t the best decision for the consumers as most have no idea what they are doing on their machines and an extra pop-up could have confused them even more.

Then, Mozilla complained that setting Firefox as default web browser in Windows 10 is not exactly as straightforward as it should be, and then we too did not understand what was the fuss all about. It was easy, at least for us.

Well, third time is the charm, as it looks like Microsoft has started nagging Windows 10 users to give their (incomplete and broken) Edge browser another go. According to the latest report, this is what happens in the latest Windows 10 preview (build 10568) when you switch to Chrome, Firefox or any other (better) web browser:Continue Reading

Now here is something to cheer you up before the weekend. As it turns out, a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2015-7645), affecting all Flash versions on all operating systems (Windows, Linux and OS X), has been recently discovered and is already exploited by various web sites.

The only way to protect yourself? Uninstall Adobe Flash, as the company is said to be releasing patch only sometime next week.

If you have recently changed site nameservers, migrated web hosting, simply seeing sites with old content, or for any other reason need to clear your DNS Cache and it is not working, here is how you do it properly:

Assuming you have already done the usual (OS level cleaning, which you can read more about here):

Recently, Microsoft has pushed new Windows 10 builds for both PC and Mobile and with that came an updated version of Microsoft Edge, which does bring some needed changes.

Starting with the mobile, it looks like the user interface has received some necessary changes, including: slightly changed fly-out menu when tapping on … (see screenshot below)

In addition to that, you can now access Favorites, Reading List, History and Downloads much faster, and without having to visit the Hub. As far as other changes go, there is now also a toggle for syncing Favorites and Reading lists (yay) and ability to import favorites from other web browsers.Continue Reading
